Crying - Roy Orbison (Cover by Elliot James Reay) Follow my other social media here !!! Instagram - elliotjamesreay Twitter - @elliotjamesreay Facebook - Elliot James Reay
Roy Orbison was one of the greatest and you young man have a great future. It warms my heart to see young folks bringing back the REAL music of the past.
I love it when the younger generation take on a timeless classic. Such a brilliant & most beautiful rendition of Roy Orbison's - "Crying" Well done & thanks for this❣
The voice of an angel!!! You have Roy...Elvis...and every other epic performer that's passed on...applauding you for doing their songs so beautifully!!❤❤❤
I worked as a Nightclub singer, session singer (did a lot of commercial jingles for TV and Radio) and anywhere I had to sing I did - not an easy life, but let me tell you, I think you are WONDERFUL and your pitch and intonation are spot-on and "Crying" by Roy O. is not an easy tune - I'm putting you in my Subscriptions and I want to know how you are doing ~ thank you for restoring my faith in young singers of today - John Gainor
Out of the park!!!! Love your smooth, yet powerful voice. The emotion in your voice is priceless. I’ll be listening to this all day and into the night. Thanks Elliot.
Oh, Elliot. The way you took those last notes. I found myself grabbing my hand to my heart. They were just beautiful sweet. And so emotional. And of course- the strength of the notes was great. One of the hardest songs to not only hold notes of, but to pour emotion into, in the way that that song needs
I love how you do these old songs so much! The 50s and 60s had the BEST music ever! I'm only 16, but I listen to these songs all the time! Do you think you could do "It's Over" by Roy Orbison, too?
love the glasses, WOW i close my eyes and hear roy orbison you are one talented young man, can't wait hear more. i would like to hear you sing elvis crying in the chapel PLEASE!!
I was brought up with these artists and these songs and I have to say that you have that same classic voice. If I close my eyes and just listen, I picture an old tv and a handsome guy in a suit on that tv, crooning these awesome tunes. You have an awesome voice and I'm still hoping that some day you will do some live (in person) shows that I can enjoy in person.
Bravoooo Eliot you are very very good! I like 👍 all you sing 🎶 🎤 so well and so great nice. Wonderful voice Thanks from France 🇫🇷 see you very soon again A + 💯👍💯❤️
Ive loved Roy Orbisons songs since I was 15yrs. young now Im in my 70s I was luck to see him live when he played in the UK , just as good live , that did him a massive compliment an nnearly as good as Big O but I love that it was similar but his own not trying to sound the exact same an doing so with ease , beautiful an thank you 😊❤🇬🇧
Elliot, thank you for sharing your incredible talent and another beautiful expression of Roy’s music. You sing with such care, humility, and heart. I hope you continue with Roy’s songbook. All the best 💙
Elliot love this cover of Roy Orbison’s “Crying”! Thank you ! Beautiful rendition! Roy is listening and approving! Can you do Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton from 60’s! Thanks!❤😊
He's wonderful, but many singers can do this. Their identity is channeled through their voice. I grew up in the Los Angeles area. Some of the talent can take your breath away. One guy could sing like a bruiser on heavy metal tracks & then turn around & sing EXACTLY like Diana Ross or Beyonce at the drop of a hat. It's wonderful that he can be applauded for this by social media, but it wasn't that way in my youth. ❤❤
Your Such a beautiful singer and i love that you sing the older songs way before your generation and mine 🫣 You have everything going for you james,stunningly brilliant voice and stunningly good looks.Keep going lad, you to me are already a superstar 💙 ❤️ ,sending you lots of love xxx
You hear lots of great people doing very good covers of various artists. But to do a Roy Orbison song as you do is a God given talent. You are amazing! Thanx
Hey Elliot, I really love the way you sing and how beautiful your voice is. I have watched all your videos and even love the older ones as well. Perhaps do some more video's with a bit less reverb and studio processing. Really love to see your natural voice shine! Thanks for everything ♥
Robison was a giant in the the writing and singing business!! Hugely underappreciated in his time with us. Everything he wrote and sang was 24 karat gold in my book!!! Jim from southeast Texas
If Roy Orbison was alive, he would be so proud of you. Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙂❤
Where can we buy your fabulous timeless music ❤@@ElliotJamesReay
@@manxdelboyI would like to know too!
Totally agree Elliott ! You should get yourself on the road as a tribute artist to Roy ! Your the best I’ve heard so far. ,
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤@@ElliotJamesReay
Absolutely superb. YOU DIDN'T CHICKEN OUT ON THE HIGH NOTES.
YOUR VOICE RANGE IS EXCELLENT......BRAVO👏👏👏
Yes, I sense he's holding back, too. It will come, in time.
I never thought anyone could do this song as well as Roy! I was wrong! BRAVO!
K.D. Lang cover Its so Beauty as well👍🏻
I disagree just a bit, it is beautiful, but his voice doesn't have the resonance of Roy's, but he is young, it could still become more like Roy's.
@@vonheise
He sing swett, His
Own style..shall he does a copy?? I don't think so
Don't McLean's version is pretty good too TBF

Yes I too am a studio vocalist and performer of 40 years and he deserves to find a publisher who will take him under development.
You are something else young man. Stay humble and keep touching hearts with your voice and spirit God Bless
Out of the park!!!! Love your smooth, yet powerful voice. The emotion in your voice is priceless. I’ll be listening to this all day and into the night. Thanks Elliot.
